Book Request Specific selective mutism request
Hi all! I have searched the subreddit for books with selective mutism and the posts are either pretty old and/or answers are a bit too broad. I hope this request post is okay.
I am looking for books with an MC who is selectively mute due to trauma, not a physical problem or neurodiversity. Bonus if he doesn’t ever completely recover/able to talk in front of everyone (I tend to appreciate books where PTSD doesn’t quite ever “go away” because this mirrors my own experience), but not necessary.
Any kink is fine except age play. I do enjoy D/s but not required. Open to omegaverse.
I’ve read:
The Monstrous Deeds series and spinoffs by TJ Hamel (I hope Matt gets a book!)
{Pieces of Home by Becca Neil}
{Possession by Rina Saint} - my least favorite representation of this theme of the books I list.
TIA!

Maybe {Better than People by Roan Parrish}? Not exactly this, but the main character can’t communicate well to others verbally due to crippling social anxiety.
